Adam Laxalt, the former Nevada attorney general who called the 2020 presidential election “rigged,” conceded his loss on Tuesday in a contest that tipped the balance of the Senate to Democrats.

The concession comes days after multiple news outlets on Saturday, including NBC News, had declared his opponent, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, the winner. The delay had some Democrats privately fearing Laxalt was readying a recount effort, according to a Democrat familiar with the party’s national strategy. That could have turned into a lengthy process and dragged out a race that ultimately determined party control of the Senate.

Instead, in an announcement over Twitter on Tuesday, Laxalt said he called Cortez Masto to “congratulate her on her win.”

“I am confident that any challenge of this election would not alter the ultimate outcome,” Laxalt wrote in the statement.

1. I give it a 99% chance that Laxalt was correct.

He said he was "confident that any challenge of this election would not alter the ultimate outcome."

How very un-Republican of him. If the margin had been a third of what was announced, that would have been a different story. But he did the right thing for his party and his State. Again, how very un-Republican of him. I wonder what got into him?

4. TY! Oh that's good to know! What do they

know about Adam Laxalt?

“We believe that Catherine possesses a set of qualities that clearly speak of what we like to call ‘Nevada grit,’” the letter said, adding that “no further comments will be made, as we believe this letter speaks for itself.”

Of course AL had a tweet dismissing them as "Democrats: or mostly.

So happy CCM WON!!

8. Here's some of what they must know

A commentator on MSNBC (sorry, can't remember who) said that Laxalt was as bad a candidate as the rest the GOP ran, he just didn't get as much coverage.
